I run a business based in Canada. My online shipping varies from 14-30 depending on the item weight, quantity etc. My shipping is flat rate. Si you buy 5 tee's, 9 times out 10, the shipping will remain the same. From a consumer p.o.v is that fair enough ? thanks

If it's eBay, I always try and arrange for cheaper shipping, especially when it's US to Canada. A lot of eBayers try and lump Canada in with higher int'l shipping rates, when in reality, anything sent USPS to Canada is usually dirt cheap.

If it's a webshop, you're pretty much out of luck for negotiation, but I always check for promo codes or split an order with someone else. Most Canadian places offer cheaper shipping to Canada, despite ALL Canadian shipping prices being rather ridiculous even when in province, but you are subject to taxation, so I weigh my options. I know that ssense has really good rates for expedited shipping, and being Quebec to Ontario, it's almost next-day even at a 2-day estimate.

&gt;$50 in country should be free.
&gt;$100 inter-country should be free.

~$15 in country for &lt;$50.
~$20 from the US &lt;$50, ~$30 for $50 - $100.

I don't often buy from int'l stores, at least when it comes to clothing. CHN/HK companies usually offer free or dirt cheap shipping on small electronic items, cables, etc..

Hey you guys, since this seems to be a a troll free thread with decent people, any tips on how to &quot;advertise&quot; properly a website and garner customers. I have great items all authentic but haven't made a sale yet on my site. Made a lot on ebay and locally though. I understand people are hesitant to order from new website.

Completely constructive; your site isn't the easiest to navigate, but if you're just getting started with the online portion of your business its a really good start. I'm in Ottawa too, send me a pm with your contact info I can give you some feedback!

I love flat-rate shipping because I usually place big orders and for $100, it all depends on the volume, but $10-25 is ok. What I hate the must is getting dinged with duty fees on delivery!!! Happens everytime goods are shipped via UPS.

This really looks like a thread for Canucks to whine in haha

USPS is your best bet at avoiding the Duties, just pay the sales tax and about $5-10 handeling fee. If your order is on the smaller side, you might get away with paying nothing.

Do you guys prefer flat rate shipping or would you rather see it vary based on the amount of products? Also, do you prefer tax to be included in the price seen on the website or added on top once you're going through the check out process?
